Generator is a device that produces electricity with the help of mechanical engine and alternator, turning off this device is another important aspect, although, there are some of this generator that have inbuilt automatic On/Off. However, we are considering those with out such function. That were the smart Automatic Changeover Switch OFF Generator instantly (SmartAutocos) come in .
What is Smart Automatic Changeover Switch
A smart Automatic Changeover Switch is a device that can automatically switch between two power sources such as generator and main power supply or solar and high power grid. However this instrument has other functions embedded which will help make the process easier and comfortable for very user.
The Basic principles Any Generator Use To Turn Off
When a generator start running, it doesn’t just stop on it own unless something act on it, this could be lack of fuel or current supply. Which has interrupted the process and making it to stop working
For every mechanical generator to turn off, it most operate with two basic principles, which includes cutting of the fuel supply or shorting down the ignition system ( cutting of current supply).
Cutting Off The Fuel supply
This involves cutting of the fuel supply from the generator, the Fuel can be diesel, petrol or gas whichever, when it is cut off the generator stop working.
Cutting Off Current (Ignation System)
This involves cutting of the current supply from the ignition or start coil, when this is done the generator automatically stopped working.
How Can Smart Automatic Changeover Switch OFF Any Generator
Yes, a very good question, how can smart Automatic Changeover Switch OFF Any Generator, the process is very simple, the SmartAutocos is designed in a way such that when the power grid is restored, it will give a signal to the Ignation System of any generator and it Wii shutdowns automatically.
How To Connect Smart Automatic Changeover Switch To OFF Any Generator
First. We have to understand the principles behind the ON/OFF operations of gas generator, there are two basic principles involve which is the mechanical and the electrical function.
The mechanical is the supply of fuel to the engine through the cabrator while the electric ignite current engine to start up the process of combustion which makes the generator to start running continuously.
If any of the process is interrupted the generator engine stop working immediately.
So, what the generator ON/OFF switch does is to allow free flow of electric current to the engine (ON) and also interrupt the flow of electric (OFF) , though some system use the mechanical process by cutting of the fuel supply (OFF) and allowing flow of fuel (ON).
However, in this method of connecting the Smart Automatic Changeover Switch OFF Generator we are using the electric ignite system. Popularly known as starting coil method because it this that ignite current to the engine.
